Birmingham is very deceiving like that
I always thought it was further north than it is
yanno
being below it an' all

KatMagenta 09-21-2013 11:13 PM

I thought it was further north and west rather than being in the middle of the Midlands. The Megabus would still probably take six hours if it was ten miles away.

Star Valo 09-21-2013 11:32 PM

Good old Megabus!
Birmingham is quite nice and central really :3

KatMagenta 09-21-2013 11:45 PM

The Megabus seems to stop near Birmingham Snow Hill and I can't find a direct form of public transport from there. >.<

Star Valo 09-22-2013 12:30 AM

Flippin' heck Kat
That's a long way away from the Hilton according to google maps

though it is telling me the bus route flys over england...

KatMagenta 09-22-2013 12:36 AM

It's about 10 miles, if not slightly more. The most sensible option seems to be to walk to New Street and get the train to Birmingham International.

Star Valo 09-22-2013 12:40 PM

How much would that cost?

GwenaHikari 09-22-2013 12:49 PM

Star Valo 09-22-2013 12:50 PM

GwenaHikari 09-22-2013 12:52 PM

The Megabus is £5 and the Birmingham train is about £3 (without booking fees).

Star Valo 09-22-2013 01:14 PM

SCREEEEE!

That's not too bad a price then really Kat
Definitely easier to get to the Hilton from the Train Station

KatMagenta 09-22-2013 02:40 PM

I don't think the Megabus website would actually let me to go up to March but I assume it'll be same price as November.

Star Valo 09-22-2013 04:01 PM

How long is the bus ride?
Is that the cheapest/fastest way?
Nowhere on the bus route that'll drop you at a train station that's cheaper to get to birmingham?

KatMagenta 09-22-2013 04:20 PM

I officially have teh dumb, "Birmingham International Airport" is a Megabus stop as well as just Birmingham. They're both five or six hours depending on the time of day.

---------- Post added 09-22-2013 at 05:29 PM ----------

The bus to Birmingham leaves at 6:00am but the one to the Airport doesn't leave until 2:00pm *throws rocks at Megabus*

I could fly for cheaper than the train but it takes six hours because you have to go via Belfast. -_____-
(or Durham- Amsterdam- Birmingham which is actually quicker)

HIM_ROCK 09-22-2013 04:52 PM

Bleh *goos*

KatMagenta 09-22-2013 04:52 PM

Hey HIM.

Sorry for the Kat vs. Public transport spam.

Star Valo 09-22-2013 07:33 PM

Kitacon's sold out!

KatMagenta 09-22-2013 07:34 PM

Wah, it went down from 160 to 140 while I was registering but then it went back up a little bit. [:O]

Star Valo 09-22-2013 07:47 PM

Yah
It's sold out in 17 minutes over 48 hours!
Fastest I've ever known a convention sell out! lol

KatMagenta 09-22-2013 07:57 PM

Is there a waitlist or do they just open up any places that become available first come first served?

Star Valo 09-22-2013 08:31 PM

There should be a waiting list
but the Facebook group has said wait unitl 4th of October

hints that they'll be adding extra spaces

KatMagenta 09-22-2013 08:50 PM

On the Twitter it says the waiting list will be open by the end of the week. Also I ruined their follower count by being the 1001st.
